Ricotta Gnocchi

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 5 to 8 tbls flour (depends on the consistency of the ricotta)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • salt and pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the gnocchi combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. (if using firm ricotta - blend beforehand) The dough should be quite sticky
  • Dip a teaspoon in hot water and use it to shape the dough into several olive-sized gnocchi. Re-dip the spoon each time so dough does not stick
  • Heat a saucepan of water. When boiling poach the gnocchi for 30 - 40 seconds and remove from water with slotted spoon. They are done when they float to the surface
  • Eat immediately with a little olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt

Notes

I served this with a simple fresh tomato sauce. I added two chopped tomatoes with a sprinkle of oregano and some water to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened
